Our History

At Vezza d’Alba, in the heart of the Roero region, over three generations of the Demarie Giovanni family have been running their domain with expertise, hard work and a truly passionate love for wine-growing.

The domain covers over 20 hectares of vineyards that are located in the surrounding boroughs of Vezza, Castagnito, Castellinaldo and Guarene.

The gentle hills of Roero have always been famous for their great wines. The distinctive sunny slopes, the special microclimate, and excellent terroir as well as the bond that grows through years of work and experience between the winegrower and his land combine to produce unique prestige wines every year.

The Terroir

The Roero is a tiny paradise composed of hills and vineyards, with a landscape of contrasting steep rises and gentle slopes.

Well-known for its sandy terroir, rich in sea fossil residue, Roero has a long history of traditional winemaking.

On the slopes with the best exposure, the vines grown using the ancient system of guyot planting alternate with abundant fruit orchards. The dense hazel nut groves growing in the flatlands, green woods and the famous ochre-yellow stone give the Roero area a fascinating peaceful beauty that is unique.

The Cellar

The building reflects the philosophy of our company: a focus on design, technology and respect for the environment.

Construction material such as wood, stone, bricks and glass. Photo voltaic panels on the roof, a biomass power plant and a small phytodepuration lake represent our thanks to this land which has always been so generous.

Throughout the rigorous judging processes, each winning wine is tasted a minimum of three times and as many as six. This medal is a powerful endorsement of quality and excellence in winemaking. Our esteemed judges have awarded a bronze medal to: Roero D.O.C.G. 2005 and Barbera d’Alba Superiore D.O.C. 2005 and a commended medal to: Nebbiolo d’Alba D.O.C. 2005
